Yeah, but then you have to go into WalMart.

Maybe I'm a sucker for a marketing ploy, not sure, but I like the 15w-50 variety and I haven't seen that in the 5 qt. jug whereas O'Reilly does have it on sale in qts. For awhile I would buy the 5 qt. jug and refill used qt. bottles to keep in my trunk. Don't have room for the large bottle in my trunk.

I honestly couldn't tell you whether or not 15w-50 is any better than 5w-30. It's sort of like vitamins or herbal supplements: you read the reports and take it on faith.
